How Google Sitemap can help your site get indexed faster

Having an XML sitemap is important to help Google crawl your site effectively. It’s like giving Googlebot a map of your site and telling it where to crawl instead of the usual index links crawling. The bot may miss some of your links if you are not using search engine friendly URLs or have NOINDEX tags embedded on your page.

Most of us using Wordpress are blessed with the excellent Google Sitemap Generator plugin by Arne Brachhold.

For those who are not using Wordpress, you may try the free service at XML-Sitemaps.com.

    You can use XML-Sitemaps though. Just make sure you choose to host your blog on your own hosting or free hosting.
